    Afternoon Chris.
    As the saying goes a little bit of what you fancy always does you good.

    I'm sure you'll get over living with yourself after your purchase- though its obviously going to be hard

    I owned 2 of them 10yrs ago but sold them on. They are a workhorse and no prize beauty but boy are they good on rats.

    Be curious to know what the serial No is on yours, I think I had one of the last ones. IIRC mine has 'mk4' on the side.

    Is it wood or 'rubber'? Some pics would be nice

    Just checked and it says

    SKAN Mk4 38

    38 is presumably the serial number - Any advance on that?

    I'm sure my old R32 was actually lightly stamped "R32" on the top of the action near the front... seem to remember it was also stamped 0111 or maybe even 01111, which I asumed was possibly the serial number?...also think mine was possibly an older mk1 or mk2 type R32, it had wood furniture.
    blah blah

    There are no other markings at all on mine, except for 'SKAN' on the left and right of the rubber pistol grip.
